I used to just buy french standards for years, Cabernet, Pinot Noir, Merlot etc. But I've been branching out a bit, with some Italians (I love Chianti) and the Chilean Carmenere, which is really spicy and sharp-ish but not acidic.

I tend to stick locally (Niagara). Mrs.jingle and I will go on a tour every 12-18 months. There are 93 wineries in about a 50 mile radius just 90 minutes away from us. We've knocked off 23 of them so far.

Would've thought I knew at least one by name. I guess they could be the same wineries selling over here in Europe (or even The Netherlands), but under different names, I don't know. It's more a brand thing, I guess. The Arboleda sound great, though, did a quick search on them.

For the job he's currently doing. Below is the before and after. (click to enlarge)

The top drawer on the left is a fridge, the bottom a freezer with 4 quart ice tray. The drawer under the wine fridge is for cans (mixer) and bar snacks. The tall skinny drawer to the right of the wine fridge holds syrups, 2 liter bottles, sugar cubes, etc.

He did a fantastic job!
